Chapter 1180 [Master Craftsman's Creation: Forging the Sun]
Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze turned to the massive flagship in the center of the Joseph's fleet—[Asgard].
next moment.
A figure slowly rose from above the ship.
Odin, the one-eyed god-king, stepped into the void. The two ravens on his shoulders spread their wings at the same time, their black feathers spreading across the starry sky and casting huge shadows. Fokin and Wuni's gazes swept across the battlefield, and Odin's body began to expand rapidly at that moment.
His height increased from 100 meters, 200 meters, and 300 meters in just a few seconds, eventually stopping at 500 meters.
Although he was still shorter than the Son of God, the oppressive aura of a god-king had not diminished in the slightest.
Immediately afterwards, Odin raised his hand and threw the [World Bubble] within him directly into the void.
At that moment, a colossal structure began to grow rapidly in the universe.
The first thing to appear was a tree trunk as thick as a mountain range, and then countless branches and roots extended wildly from that core structure, piercing directly into space itself. Those roots continued to extend in the void, spreading across the starry sky like countless giant tentacles.
In a short while, a giant tree, 9,999 meters tall, appeared completely in the center of the battlefield.
[(Fake) World Tree - Yggdrasil]
The canopy of a giant tree is almost like a floating continent, while its roots wriggle continuously in the universe, extending for tens or hundreds of kilometers.
The entire battlefield became its domain, and Odin stood before this giant tree, his 500-meter-tall figure of the god-king appearing exceptionally majestic against the backdrop of the World Tree.
Then he stretched out his hand, and a huge spear materialized in his palm—[Gungnir].
The divine spear had expanded to hundreds of meters in length, with lightning constantly exploding on its body and electricity flowing along its tip, like a ignited comet of lightning. The moment Odin grasped it, he stepped forward, his entire body transforming into a bolt of lightning as he charged toward the Son of God.
At the same time, the World Tree behind them also began to truly awaken.
Countless roots burst forth from the void, writhing in the universe like giant serpents. Each one was hundreds of meters thick, lashing, extending, and coiling wildly in the starry sky, as if thousands upon thousands of void whips were simultaneously attacking the Son of God, attempting to bind the mechanical behemoth tightly.
However, this was not the World Tree, or rather, this was not Odin's true purpose. While these roots were frantically attacking the Son of God, more roots had already begun to spread into the distance.
They climbed up the colossal structure floating in the center of the Gothic Sector—Blackrock Fortress.
The thick tree roots spread out like vines along the surface of the fortress, and the roots quickly climbed up the huge geometric structure, spreading wildly along the gaps in the armor, structural nodes and even psionic circuits, like a living forest trying to devour the entire fortress.
The roots of the World Tree are attempting to incorporate Blackrock Fortress into their network, thereby establishing a resonance with the fortress's core through psionic structures.
far away.
Xia Xiu, inside the Son of God, could not possibly be unaware of this scene.
His consciousness swept across the colossal tree that stretched across the starry sky, then glanced at the Black Stone Fortress that was being continuously pierced by its roots. The central one of the three mechanical heads slightly raised its head, its gaze sweeping between the massive trunk and the root system that extended for thousands of kilometers, before it softly said, as if with some emotion:
"This is Yggdrasil."
"The World Tree that supports the Nine Realms in mythology... is indeed not just for show."
That giant tree was not only enormous in size, but it was more like a domain device. It established connections with spatial nodes through countless roots. Wherever the roots spread, that area would gradually become the World Tree's control range. Once Blackrock Fortress was completely entangled by it, Odin could directly access the fortress's core through the World Tree's psionic network.
at the same time.
Odin himself has already arrived.
The five-hundred-meter-tall God-King transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward, his [Gungnir] wreathed in constantly exploding electric light, its tip pointing directly at the Son of God's chest.
On one side are the World Tree's overwhelming roots, and on the other side is Odin's God-King charge, plus Blackrock Fortress is being taken over by the enemy.
However, Xia Xiu remained completely calm in the face of all this.
"Since you've brought up the World Tree... then I should get a little more serious on my end too."
next moment.
The sea of ether began to churn.
Layers of miraculous structures rapidly unfolded around the Son of God, like some enormous mechanical device being assembled in the void, and it was no ordinary weapon.
【Master Craftsman Armor - Unlocked】
A vortex of ether swirled around the machine, and the two hands in the center of the Son of God slowly rose, revealing a massive warhammer in his grasp.
【The Hammer and Anvil of God——】
Meanwhile, the two hands on the left side also unfolded. Lightning exploded in the left hand on the left side of the body, while the right hand slowly drew out a giant sword wrapped in golden flames.
[Lightning Fire] + [Abelio's Sword]
As for the two hands on the right, they appear even heavier and more profound. One hand holds up a massive silver pillar reaching for the sky, while the last hand is ablaze with a surging golden flame.
[Heavenly Lever] + [Myriad Machines - Three-State True Fire]
The 666-meter-tall mechanical god body has fully entered combat mode.
Three heads stand proudly.
All six arms are outstretched.
His body was adorned with so many accessories that it seemed to embody the very rules of the battlefield—thunder, divine sword, lever, hammer and anvil, and three-dimensional flames. Each of these was a miraculous authority capable of suppressing even the gods. When all of these things appeared on a single mechanical colossus, he was now a mobile temple of war.
Odin had already rushed in front of Xia Xiu. The five-hundred-meter-tall one-eyed god king transformed into lightning and swept across the void. Electricity danced wildly on the tip of his spear, and the aura of the high-orbit cannon swirled around [Gungnir].
"You think you're the only one with a high-orbit world bubble?"
Xia Xiu looked at Lao Ao, who was determined to confront him head-on, and said something with disdain.
Then, the two arms in the center of the Son of God suddenly tightened, and the Hammer of God was raised high.
The next instant, it slammed down head-on!!!
boom!!!!!
The giant hammer and the divine spear collided head-on in the void.
In that instant, the entire starry sky seemed to be struck by an invisible giant hammer. The shockwave spread in layers in the vacuum, and the spatial structure was directly smashed into visible folds. Odin's expression also changed drastically at that moment.
His stats can't compete with the Son of God.
Starting from the level of information integration, his divine power structure was covered by a much larger computational structure, a kind of suppression from the authority of the [Master Creator], like a higher-priority algorithm directly overwriting the old program.
Odin's arm trembled violently from the impact, his bones cracked, and his divine blood surged wildly beneath his skin.
Even more bizarrely, the layers of mechanical circuits on the surface of the [God's Hammer Anvil] suddenly lit up at the moment of impact, and an incomprehensible structural force spread along the hammer surface, as if a huge reconstruction device directly covered Gungnir's lightning structure.
The thunder was dismantled, and lightning exploded in the void.
Odin was thrown back by the impact, his massive divine body sliding hundreds of meters through the ocean of World Tree roots, the churning roots rolling behind him like waves.
The One-Eyed God King was knocked back by a single blow from his hammer.
However, Xia Xiu did not stop at all.
Because the Son of God's six-armed fighting form is never meant to be used against just one person.
Just as the central two arms were confronting Odin head-on, the left two arms of the Son of God began to move.
The outermost left arm suddenly rose, and the bolt of lightning from Zeus's authority exploded within the giant hand.
next moment.
The entire void was suddenly illuminated by lightning.
Rumble~~~~
Countless bolts of lightning were forcibly drawn from the depths of the ether, pouring down like a torrential rain. Thick pillars of lightning crashed down across the starry sky, precisely striking the roots of the World Tree that were entangled with the Son of God.
The lightning exploded, and the roots were blasted apart piece by piece.
With his other hand, he wielded the [Sword of Abelio], the greatsword wreathed in golden flames sweeping across the void. A single strike unleashed a golden arc hundreds of meters long.
Those World Tree roots that tried to entwine around from the side were completely severed in the sword light, and the huge broken roots rolled in the universe like giant snakes that had been cut off.
at the same time.
The Son of God's right arms were not idle either; one arm was raised high, and the silver pillar in his hand suddenly trembled in the void.
The next instant, a colossal creature was forcibly pried out from the depths of the ether.
——【The Bull of Heaven】.
It was a terrifying divine beast, its size comparable to a giant ship, its steel-like body leaving heavy energy fluctuations as it stepped through the void.
And the first thing it did upon appearing was to rush towards Blackrock Fortress.
boom--!!!
The giant bull lowered its head, its horns slamming into the massive structure of Blackrock Fortress.
"Moo~~~~"
once.
twice.
three times.
The longhorn beetle is disrupting the mechanical balance between Blackrock Fortress and the spatial structure, amplifying all forces infinitely on its horns.
The gravitational field of the entire Gothic Sector was vibrating, and this colossal fortress, with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, began to move slowly amidst the impact.
Of course, Blackrock Fortress itself is extremely sturdy, so the real victims were not the fortress, but the World Tree roots that were wrapped around its surface.
The roots that had been clinging tightly to the fortress were torn apart, ripped apart, and flung away one by one under this terrifying leverage impact, like a forest uprooted and scattered in the void.
However, the World Tree is extremely resilient.
Even when broken, those roots still wriggle wildly, trying to regrow and re-enter.
And just then...
The Son of God slowly raised his last hand, and a ball of golden flame burned in his palm.
【Myriad Machines, Three States of True Fire】.
Xia Xiu looked at the still struggling ocean of World Tree roots, then glanced at the slowly moving Blackrock Fortress, and then, like throwing a pebble, he pinched the ball of flame into a small ball of light.
This ball of light is Xia Xiu's imitation of the [Ten Days of End] that Mu created when he destroyed the Sea World. Although he can't create ten of them at once, he can still create a similar one by hand using the [Master Craftsman Creator].
【Master Craftsman, Creator – Casting the Sun】
[Imitation of a blazing, incandescent sun!!!]
He casually tossed the little sun away, its target—Blackrock Fortress.
The next second, the ball of light fell.
—Boom!
The ball of light that Xia Xiu casually tossed away was just a fist-sized dot the moment it left the palm of the Son of God. Golden-white flames burned quietly on its surface, looking even somewhat gentle. But anyone with even a little spiritual perception would immediately realize that it was not ordinary energy, but a miraculous structure compressed to the extreme—a miniature sun folded into higher-dimensional information.
The sphere of light flew slowly through the void.
Unhappy.
They even seemed somewhat relaxed.
But as it approached Blackrock Fortress, the surrounding space began to change strangely. The vacuum was distorted by the high temperature, and starlight was bent at its edges, as if the physical constants of the entire universe were forced to be recalculated at that moment, and the light sphere itself was also rapidly expanding during its flight.
Initially only the size of a fist, it quickly grew to the size of a wheel, then to tens of meters, hundreds of meters, until finally it hovered above Blackrock Fortress like a compressed incandescent star.
The next instant, the little sun erupted.
A blazing white light burst forth in the void, making the entire Gothic sector seem as if a new star had suddenly appeared. Platinum flames spread in all directions, and the light contained three completely different structures.
The order of the [Shattered Spark], the destruction and scorching radiation of the [Endless Sun], and the ancient stellar authority carried by the [Solar Ship]—these three forces were released in the same instant.
The surface of Blackrock Fortress was the first to be swallowed up.
Immediately afterwards, the World Tree roots clinging to the fortress structure were also completely engulfed. Their divine structure, which was originally tough enough to grow in a vacuum, was as fragile as withered branches in the face of the Tri-State True Fire. In just a few breaths, large holes were burned into the root forest covering Blackrock Fortress.
Not only that.
The flames continued to spread outwards.
The ocean of roots churning in the void was also swept into the solar storm. Roots hundreds of meters thick struggled violently in the flames, but they were no match for the scorching heat from the dimensional level and soon disintegrated into ash in the light.
Even the World Tree itself could not completely escape this impact.
The colossal tree, towering at 9,999 meters, trembled violently during the eruption. Its thick trunk was struck head-on by the impact, and blazing white flames exploded on the bark. Immediately afterward, a muffled roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of an ancient forest, resounded.
The tree trunk was torn apart.
A massive crater spread outward from the explosion's epicenter, blasting through a structure hundreds of meters in diameter. The entire tree trunk collapsed like a mountain struck by a cannon, leaving a terrifying, enormous crater. Within that crater, the golden-white tri-phase flames continued to burn fiercely.
The blazing sun at the end is gnawing at the divine structure.
The broken embers continued to radiate.
The solar ship's stellar power is continuously expanding its destructive range.
Just one strike.
One-third of the World Tree's structure was directly cut off.
However, this solar flare will not only affect the World Tree.
The Joseph's fleet, which was closer to the center of the battlefield, was also affected.
A blazing white wave of light swept over like a tsunami, hitting more than a dozen frigates and destroyers almost simultaneously. The Void Shield system endured an unimaginable energy shock in a very short time, with layers of flow-guiding structures operating wildly, continuously throwing flames and radiation into the ether.
The surface of the Void Shield rippled violently like the surface of water. Some ships' shields were instantly pushed to the critical value, and the flow array emitted a piercing alarm under high load.
The entire fleet was thrown into disarray by this solar flare.
Further away, within the ranks of the Courtyard Fleet, the five Legion Commanders witnessed this scene almost simultaneously.
There was a brief moment of silence on the communication channel.
next moment.
The order was issued simultaneously.
"Continue the suppressive fire!"
"Fleet advance!"
"Ready to harvest—!"
The cannon was fired again.
The light spear array relocked.
The Garden Fleet, which had been stationed at the mid-range firing line, began to advance as a whole, while the Joseph Garden ships, whose formation had been disrupted by the solar flare, had entered the most dangerous area.
The hunters are close in; now it's time to reap the rewards.
